Chased by a cow...

Things like this only happen to me. I was minding my own business walking from my apartment to the study space. Now this study space is about 30 degrees Fahrenheit so I needed to go get a parka to maintain a healthy body temperature. I safely made it to my apartment and saw a few cows, there are always cows.....returning to the study place, I was coming around a blind corner and I heard a noise. You must always be paying very close attention down here in the tropics as you never know when a giant crab, lizard or cow is just around the corner. Thus, I peered around the corner; low and behold, there is Betsy, the cow, scratching her hind legs in a bush with her two calves munching on grass. Right as I came around the corner, a security officer tried to scare her off and she starting running toward me! So there I am, with my red Gonzaga University sweat shirt in my hand, in the way of the 1,000 pound bovine! I tried to act brave, I managed not to run, but I did power walk away from Betsy...to which the security officer said to me, "you have to let the cows know who is boss and not move out of their way. If you move they know you are afraid." Well, I had to state the obvious, but when a 1,000 pound cow with HORNS is running toward me, I am a little afraid!!! Then the security guard started yelling at the cow. Betsy and I looked at each other and I think we were both a little afraid. Needless to say, I've been studying at home as to limit my exposures to the cows.
